    DE filter clean question

    Hi all, I am planning on cleaning my DE4820 filter. The Hayward instructions specifically say not to lubricate the seal but in all the online directions/youtube videos, etc..., everyone always puts some sort of lubrication on the seal. I'll take a pic of the Hayward instructions and attach...

    Best option for plumbing

    Hi all, I have two options for replumbing for my Pump. I can either cut off the plumbing coming out of the Jandy valve and put a 2.5” coupling with a 2” bushing on - or - I can cut it off in the same spot and put a pipe extender fitting in the pipe. Which is better for flow or does it matter...

    Pump bearings going

    Hi all, You guys helped me fix my pump motor last year - it needed a new start capacitor. Now the bearings are starting to go. I've been told it has anywhere from 6 months to a year left, but....I have a decision to make as far as what to do with it. Pool was built in 2009. Haywood...

    Alkalinity

    Hi all, Pool was redone last year -it is about 1 year since we went to a pebble finish. My alkalinity likes to stay around 60 - which I understand to be a little low, but not too terrible. I just want to confirm that it is ok. I have a chlorine generator, so I am used to putting in acid...

    Big differences

    Hi all, I bought a Taylor 2006 kit and have been doing my own water testing now for about 10 months. My salt cell died so I brought it in to get tested. WHile I was there I had the water tested as well and I had just tested it before I left the house. There are large differences between my...

    Difference between VS pumps

    Hi all, In looking at VS pumps I am not sure which my pool would need. On the suction side it appears I have 3 pipes coming in...the main drains come in as one 2 inch pipe. Then the skimmer comes in on a 1.5" pipe and the vac line comes in on a 1.5" pipe as well. When I turn the Pool Vac on...

    Where to purchase parts?

    Hi all, I am looking for the terminal cover for the Century Centurion motor - CAT Number USN1152. When I replaced the capacitor in the motor I noticed the cover (I think it is called a terminal cover) was cracked in half. I can't find the parts online anywhere. Some places carry the cover...

    Pump dead?

    I must have jinxed myself asking about re-plumbing for when my pump died because I am afraid it might have - but not sure. I have a Haywood Northstar pump 1.5 HP. When I came home I noticed it wasn't working. There is a loud HUM that comes out and it is SUPER hot. The hum doesn't stay...

    PoolMath Vs Test Kit

    Hi all, I am fairly new to the site. Just got the Taylor 2006 kit and love it. We just had the pool refinished with Pebble Sheen (I think that is what it is called). That was over 30 days ago. One thing I notice when trying to figure out how much acid to add to lower PH is that the chart in...

    Pump Plumbing

    Hi all, This forum is great. I just joined and this is my first post. We have a pool in Florida. It was built in 2009. We've been through several T-Cells and a pump motor. Due to tile cracking all around the pool and the acrylic deck delaminating, we had the pool remodeled by a different...
